Scratching causes cracks and crevices on the surface of the flask (though microscopically). These will act as favorable sites for nucleation, which leads to the formation of crystals.
The electronic configuration of x, y, and z.



<h3>What is an electronic configuration?</h3>
Electronic configuration, also called electronic structure, is the arrangement of electrons in energy levels around an atomic nucleus.
a.



b.
x= Period 1 and group18
Y=Element is in period 3 and Group 2
Z=Element is in period 3 and group 17.
c.
X, Y & Z represents Helium, magnesium, and chlorine.

Answer:
The statements are definitions to chromatography terms which have been highlighted below.
Explanation:
Match the chromatography term with its definition.
Volumetric Flow Rate = The volume of solvent traveling through the column per unit time.
Retention time = The elapsed time between sample injection and detection.
Adjusted Retention Time = The time required by a retained solute to travel through the column beyond the time required by the un -retained solvent.
Linear Flow Rate = The distance traveled by the solvent per unit time.
Retention factor = Describes the amount of time that a sample spends in the stationary phase relative to the mobile phase. It is sometimes also called the capacity factor or capacity ratio.
Relative Volume = Volume of the mobile phase required to elute a solute from the column.
Relative Retention = Ratio of the adjusted retention times or retention factors of two solutes. It is sometimes also called the separation factor.
Partition coefficient = The ratio of the solute concentrations in the mobile and stationary phases.
Answer:

Explanation:

In this reaction, calcium is balanced in either side. No. of atoms of 'H' and 'O' are not balanced. To balance O atoms, multiply
by 2. Now the reaction becomes:

Now, to balance H atoms, multiply H2 by 2.

Now, each element is balanced.
